Apologies to the Mods : Mon Sep 19, 2016 7:08 pm  

I must apologize to the Mods for my recent posts - every one containing at least one expletive - (or lots of .... ).

I've not been on here since Friday night and have seriously thought of giving up supporting the Wire and RL for good.
I was / am totally pig-sick.

I have been supporting Warrington since the early 1970's and I honestly cannot think of any time I've been as hacked off as I am / was after Friday.

I've seen them lose 80 - 0 at Stains
I've seen us lose with seconds to go against Stains
I saw us lose to the Joe Lydon 'wonder drop goal' in the 80's
I saw us lose to Wigan in CC final in the mid 90's and in the Regal Trophy that decade too.
I've seen us lose away at Hunslet in the 80's.
I've seen us get stuffed by Bradford and Leeds.
Even losing the 2 GF's was not as bad.
This list goes on.

In all of the above (except Hunslet!) we were never really the 'class' side or something conspired against us (particularly the goons injuring Monas and Ratch in the 2nd GF).

But I have honestly never taken defeat like that on Friday.

Totally livid. It's beyong 'upsetting'.

My long suffering wife was totally understanding though - that's the one saving grace.

Nor sure where I go from here.

I've decided not to make the 300 mile round trip to Hull on Friday and have still yet to decide whether to watch on tv.
Can't even persuade myself to see how things are going on the club web site or the Warrington Guardian.

Why, why, why ?

Would you like the use of my strait jacket & padded cell for a few days ? Just till you are ready to go out into the big wide world again & purchase your season ticket for next year.

Fez we are all gutted mate and anyone with more years supporting the Wire than a Cas fan has fingers on one hand has quite naturally experienced plenty of downs to go with our ups.

It's sport and it's full of if's and but's, if Currie had got over in the last minute, if Gidley had kicked that kick we would have been quite deservedly Challenge Cup winners and I'm not denying Hull their win, it's a very fine margin that separates the have's and have not's in the trophy cabinet, well this year so far.

We may end up with now't again, we might win a couple of games and make history, either way it's been better than the last couple of seasons, we've been to a final we are in the semi against lord knows who stick with the Wire and stick with RL would be my two penneth FWIW despite our world being less than perfect ATM

...and let's face it, you could have been a RU fan. Now that thought IS depressing!

Very honest of you. I went through something similar a few years back and just decided to pick my games and not emotionally invest as much as I once did. It is only a game after all and plenty of ways to spend my leisure time. Games that I fancy, I go to. Ones I don't I'll watch on Sky. I went to Hull in 2011 to see us clinch it, won't be bothering this Friday. Went to Wembley not expecting much and wasn't that crushed. If we make the GF I'll most likely go to that. The club owes me nothing, nor I it.

Re: Apologies to the Mods : Tue Sep 20, 2016 5:40 pm  

I went through something similar 18 months ago. I fell out of love with the game. I hated the RFL. I hated Sky. I wasn't interested in Wire anymore. I hated the politics in the amateur game. I was fed up of wasting my time and money. I took a season out. It makes all of the difference. I still hate Sky. I still hate the RFL. But I love the game and the Wire, the rest I try to ignore. Maybe you just need a bit of a break?

Re: Apologies to the Mods : Tue Sep 20, 2016 7:51 pm  

Yeah, go and watch RU or football for 12 months that'll cure you.
